THE RAIN

Street children playing...all the trees swaying All of them share my joy As if saying...Rain has come at last And we are overjoyed!! The smell of the wet earth As if giving life a new birth Everything appears so beautiful And there is alas some joy in my heart As i walk through the drops of rain I know it washes away all the pain My soul is cleant..from all the guilt and repent and now...mother nature has told me to move on... But as i walk on i wonder About the people who dont have shelter no longer They have no home to return to no clothes, no food, just a bridge to sit under! do these people really enjoy the rain?? As i think this i see a few street children playing An old man putting his hand out from under the bridge Smiling as if reminiscing getting wet in the rain as a kid In our journey there will be many sunny n cloudy days But the winner is the one who despite the darkness says "My time will come too and i will work hard and wait" Just as the earth does in the smoldering sun for the rain We should always let the child in us live Learn to live and let live, forget and forgive These children taught me even when there is nowhere to go Life is still beautiful and there is still hope!!
